Q: What is stem cell therapy for joint pain?
A: It’s a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own stem cells to help repair damaged tissues in joints like knees, hips, and shoulders.
Q: How does it work?
A: Stem cells have the ability to support healing by reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue repair. When injected into a joint, they may help improve function and reduce pain.
Q: What conditions can stem cell therapy help with?
A: It may benefit people with osteoarthritis, cartilage damage, ligament injuries, or chronic joint pain.
Q: Is it a surgery?
A: No. It’s a minimally invasive injection done in a medical office.
Q: How long before I feel results?
A: Some patients notice improvement in weeks, while for others it may take several months as healing is gradual.
Q: Are there risks?
A: Risks are low, but as with any medical procedure, there’s a small chance of infection, soreness, or no improvement.
Q: Is it covered by insurance?
A: Most insurance does not cover stem cell therapy at this time.
